The world of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is surprisingly interconnected. One player, -BrotherPig-, recently showcased this by completing an epic journey from the starting zone to the game's endgame areas in a single, continuous run (mostly!).

In a video posted on the Monster Hunter subreddit, -BrotherPig- traverses the game's diverse environments, starting in the Windward Plains and venturing all the way to the late-game zones. A word of caution: significant spoilers lie ahead if you haven't finished the main campaign.

Did you know there's only 1 loading screen between the Plains and Suja? 9min ride through all zones.

The journey is remarkably long, highlighting the seamless connection between zones. Only one loading screen interrupts the trek—the transition from the Oilwell Basin to the Iceshard Cliffs. Otherwise, it's a continuous exploration for this seemingly tireless hunter.

While Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak isn't entirely free of loading screens (there are those for the training grounds and fast travel), the level of connectivity is impressive. It reveals hidden pathways and passages that link the various areas, particularly within the Forbidden Lands, offering a fresh perspective on the game's design.
